The paper compares the 30- to 80-keV electron channels on ATS 6 and 1976-059A during conjunction and application to spacecraft charging prediction. Analysis of these data reveals agreement between the two instruments even when the separation is plus or minus 7 deg; the low energy ion data from ATS 6 allow a simultaneous determination of the potential difference between ATS 6 and the ambient medium. It is concluded that as data from 1976-059A and similar satellites are potentially available in real time, the information exists to create a satellite charging index for the geosynchronous regime that would be valid within at least plus or minus 7 deg longitude of the position of each measurement.
